		<description>All I can say is that more than 3 weeks after this story broke, with round the clock media, and not a single man has come forward with a claim to have had sex with Senator Craig.

And the 10 month investigation by his hometown newspaper came up with one source that they themselves called unrelliable.

So maybe it&#039;s time to stop assuming that he intended to make communicative signals, maybe it was all unintentional - and maybe he really has been a faithful husband for two decades.

Because, absent solid proof, doesn&#039;t he deserve some benefit of the doubt?</description>

		<description>#36 - &quot;The republican [sic] party is 100% anti-gay.&quot;

Care to back that up with facts, Carmen San Diego?  Please show proof.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Since when is it illegal to ask someone if they want to have sex with you?&lt;/i&gt;

In a public restroom?

Do all Democrat gays support public lewdness and sex like you do?

&lt;i&gt;David Vitter is still in office and he was caught being involved with a (straight) prostitution ring. no one asked him to resign.&lt;/i&gt;

When do you intend to ask prostitute ring OPERATOR Barney Frank to resign?</description>

		<description>how is what he did breaking the law? Since when is it illegal to ask someone if they want to have sex with you? or is it only illegal if you&#039;re gay?

David Vitter is still in office and he was caught being involved with a (straight) prostitution ring. no one asked him to resign.

		<description>Democrats treat religion the same way that they do minorities; show token pain, pretend to care, and then prance off and do something totally contradictory.

The difference is that the religious are not as stupid as minorities.

Seriously. Look at the Democrats&#039; constitutency -- an organization (the NAACP) trying to get someone off the hook for running a &lt;i&gt;dog-fighting&lt;/i&gt; ring because he&#039;s black, and an organization (NGLTF) arguing that putting police sting operations in public restrooms where there have been complaints about sexual activity is infringing on the gay right to have public sex.

You can understand why, then, Democrats think they&#039;re just appealing to another group of dimbulbs.</description>

What gets me is I still remember how, after the 04 elections, liberals carrying on incessantly about what big idiots Christians are. Now, we&#039;re supposed to believe they give a damn? Please.

I suppose next they&#039;ll be telling us that partial birth abortion is the eleventh commandment followed by &quot;Thou shalt bugger thy page&quot; as the twelfth.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When I first read about the arrest of Senator Larry Craig in a restroom at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Aiport earlier this summer, I was stunned.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Wait, you were in a restroom at MSP when you read about the arrest?</description>

		<description>Also, on the issue of the left&#039;s complete idiocy on matters of faith, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/28/AR2007082801441.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;witness the Democrats&#039; ham-handed smear campaign against Bobby Jindal in Louisiana&lt;/a&gt;, where desperate Democrats are managing to alienate Protestants and Catholics alike because they just don&#039;t get religion.

It failed, too. Jindal is still 30 points ahead in all the polls. I wonder when he&#039;ll be president? 2013 or 2017?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;@2: LOL. Maybe Craig should stop timing his repressed closet-case antics to match the story that somebody donated money to a politician.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Actually, Craig timed it back in June - that&#039;s when it happened. Its now almost September, and V the K is absolutely that its awfully convenient for Shrillary that the press somehow missed the story for 3 months. Or were they sitting on it?</description>

		<description>NDT, ain&#039;t it funny how libs who treat the Bible as garbage are always so quick to judge and lecture people they think aren&#039;t living up to it. If nothing else in the Bible counts as moral authority, why should &quot;let he who is without sin cast the first stone&quot; matter to a leftist?

Hypocrisy abounds.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I find it pretty funny that the Republicans, many of whom claim to hold christian values, do not extend the spirit of forgiveness that christians who are supposed to espouse. They are ready to give Craig the immediate boot via some kind of indignant morality. Meanwhile, as noted in other posts, supposedly godless, religion hating democrats have exercised forgiveness in returning some who have committed crimes back to office via their votes.&lt;/i&gt;

You have confused &quot;forgiveness&quot; with &quot;deliberately overlooking criminal acts for political purposes&quot;.</description>

		<description>Another lame dodge.

What should I think now, arturo?  I won&#039;t make any assumptions.  I will let you tell me.  Shall I, or shall I not, think that you have problems in (1) coming out to conservatives, and/or (2) keeping your cruising away from public restrooms?</description>

		<description>#22 - arturo, that&#039;s a lame answer.  Way to avoid my question.

I answered your (implied) question.  (Implied because you stated it as an assertion.)  You can&#039;t return a favor?

In my conclusion to #21, all I really said was:

1) Gay people should come out of the closet, to conservatives, with a mixture of courage and goodwill.  (Yup.  That&#039;s what we called it, in my day... &quot;Coming out&quot;.)

2) Out gay people should NOT cruise restrooms like Craig or the other closet cases.  Just don&#039;t.  (Nor &lt;a href=&quot;http://gaylife.about.com/cs/gay101/a/bugparties.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;deliberately catch HIV&lt;/a&gt;.  And so on.)

Just common-sense stuff.  I&#039;m good on both scores.  I inquired calmly if you were.  You couldn&#039;t as calmly say yes?  Instead, you go off into a claim that I was somehow &quot;attacking those who disagree with&quot; me?  and &quot;[wrongly or excessively] saying we must play nice?&quot;

Whoa... dude... !</description>

		<description>#24
How about this:

*Sen. Craig launched an &quot;illegal and immoral war&quot; on public decency!

*Craig lied, sperm died! Craig didn&#039;t have the UN&#039;s permission to enter the gent&#039;s and he went in without building a coalition first.

*The fourth stall was sovereign territory which he invaded pre-emptively.

*How many poor, uneducated, innocent sperm have to die to satiate(sp?) his lust?

*He should have gotten out of there when no Whoppers of Mass Defecation were found.

And last, but not least,

*He should have pulled out a long time ago.

Sound better?</description>

		<description>23:  He pleaded guilty, the court fined him $500 in fines and fees, he received a 10 day jail sentence (stayed) and one year probation which began August 8th.  Therefore, he&#039;s received his justice as MN state law allows.  I&#039;m not sure where the repent part part enters into state law, so who exactly decides that?  Does repenting mean that he comes clean and that in addition to his crime, he admits he&#039;s either gay or bisexual?</description>

		<description>#19, Forgiveness does not mean you are not punished for your crime.  If he is guilty (which he already admitted) then he should be punished for his crime.

He is forgiven his sin when he does his time... and repents.</description>

		<description>ILoveCapitalism, give me a break.  You love to attack those who disagree with you.  You are now saying we must play nice?  Give me a break.

I do concede that not all conservatives are bigots.  &quot;To the extent&quot; that they are, they need to be told it.</description>

		<description>No arturo, I don&#039;t.  I mean, at least not in the sense you mean.

First, it&#039;s almost entirely out of my control.  Second, to the extent gays do bad behaviors (and some out / proud gays are in on some nasty stuff, including restroom-cruising with Craig, catching HIV on purpose, etc.) and we fail to call them on it (or each other), we deserve it.  Emphasize, &lt;em&gt;to that extent&lt;/em&gt;.  Third, to the extent gays DON&#039;T do bad behaviors, then we DON&#039;T deserve it... and the truth has a way of coming out, so to speak.  (&quot;The truth will out&quot; over time.)

Bottom line: In the long run, the way to stop conservatives &quot;associating all kinds of misbehaviors to &#039;gay&#039;&quot; is twofold.  (1) Talk to conservatives and correct any really unfair misconceptions; don&#039;t abuse conservatives nor shun them.  (2) Just don&#039;t do the worst misbehaviors.

The only person I control is myself, and I do my bit on both scores.  Do you?</description>

It&#039;s obvious that you don&#039;t care that social conservatives love to associate all kinds of misbehaviors to &quot;gay&quot;.</description>
